"WebVision"
Great site for everything about vision - photochemistry, anatomy, and physiology.
Illusions and aftereffects by Dr. Michael Bach
Awesome page! Start at the beginning - the one in the upper left of the table of icons at right - and try them all! Excellent excuse for constructive procrastination if you have lots of other work.
 Receptive fields - nice visualizations of responses of center-surround receptive fields from Sinauer Associates
Lectures on vision by Dr. Jeremy Nathans
Lectures 1A and 1B are on the structure and information processing in the vertebrate retina.Lecture 2 is about the neural and molecular mechanisms of color vision.Lecture 3 is about the evolution of 3-pigment color vision (i.e. the kind that only fish and old-world primates, such as humans, have).
Visual chemistry site
From Rachel Casiday and Regina Frey, Department of Chemistry, Washington University St. Louis
Gary Matthews' neuroscience simulations
Includes a receptive field mapping simulation.
Rotation aftereffect - making your "skin crawl"

Save it to your hard drive and click on it to run.
"The Joy of Visual Perception," by Peter Kaiser
See especially the "Fun things in vision" and "Color/Color vision" entries.
Afterimages from "Sandlot Science."
The afterimage collection is relevant for our course, but the other pages on the site are also fascinating.
